Certificates by Drieam

If you want to create a new Certificate template by Drieam (This is in agreement with Drieam and needs to be requested trough support) you can deliver the following items: 

• An example of how the certificates should look like, so everything together (background, text, signature, fonts)
• Send the background image separately (without text): .jpg file, width has to be smaller or equal to 2160 pixels. Next to the background image we can only add images for signatures. So all other visual elements should be placed in the background image.
• One (or multiple) images of signatures that need to be placed on the certificate. When the signature will be placed on a white background the image can be a .jpg file. If the signature will be placed on a coloured background it should be a .png file with transparent background. Think of what color pen you use when drawing the signature. Black can sometimes look better than a blue pen for example.
• The name and function of the signee
• We need an .otf file of the font you want to use (if you want to use another font than the default that is selected in Eduframe)
• All text: Include within the text what has to be loaded from Eduframe, this can be done through tags. For example in this way: {{student_name}} (everything within brackets will be loaded from Eduframe and can be different per student or course template. Also include the color of the text that you want in a hex code (e.g. #C8E2FF).
